Here are the release notes:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
-----
fetchmail-6.5.7 (released 2025-10-18, 32215 LoC):

## BUGFIXES:
* When authenticating to an SMTP server, the AUTH LOGIN method (which didn't
  become a proposed standard, and is only the third method fetchmail would =
try,
  if CRAM-MD5 and PLAIN weren't offered) required that the server returned
  a 334 code followed by a blank and by a decodable base64 challenge we ign=
ored
  anyways.  This is in line with RFC 4952.
    However, to improve compatibility, fetchmail now accepts anything that
  starts with "334 " and disregards the remainder of the line.
  At the same time, AUTH LOGIN was deprecated. AUTH PLAIN should be availab=
le
  everywhere AUTH LOGIN is, and is specified in IETF RFC 4616.
* When authenticating to an SMTP server, i. e. esmtpname/esmtppassword are
  defined, check for errors, and skip servers that do not understand EHLO,
  because we cannot negotiate supported authentication schemes with them.
  This should avoid attempting to send a lot of messages and see them rejec=
ted.
* When authenticating to an SMTP server, do not send client abort "*" when
  we receive any other server reply but 334.
* Extend 6.5.6's RFC-5321 address-literal fix to MAIL FROM. This might
  apply when we only have a server's IP address and need to quality
  addresses without domain. Fixes Debian Bug#1080025.
* SMTP AUTH can now look up passwords from the .netrc file - for that,
  fetchmail's esmtpname setting must match the login for the given host in
  .netrc. Fixes Debian Bug#1056651 by Ticker Berkin.
* Improve the GSSAPI (Kerberos V) build, which was pretty hard to get worki=
ng.
  This was improved. Recommendation:
  - For autoconf builds (./configure), be sure to have the desired krb5-con=
fig
  executable early on $PATH before running ./configure.
  - For meson builds, be sure to list the path to your krb5-gssapi.pc file =
on
  PKG_CONFIG_PATH.  (meson will fall back to krb5-config, so if that's on P=
ATH,
  that should also work.)

## TRANSLATION UPDATES were contributed by these fine people - thank you!
* The Italian translation is back - it had been missing from earlier 6.5.X
  since it had fallen too far behind with the last update in 2010.
